First hint of Labour candidates leaked.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

Personally, I think Labour need a high profile candidate who best represents what they stand for in this 21st century UK. A candidate who can inspire people to believe you can be anything you want to be....

Eddie should run ( no pun intended ), I don't agree with his views but seems to have integrity and compassion. And always useful to have a supporter in the corridors of power.

Pick someone who is local but then that would be too easy.

In - with a chance to make their mark. Promotion to a safe seat for no more than five per cent, giving space for next developing young person from that area of party strength.

Labour already spinning on this like it is lost. Apparently, George Galloway's fault as he is planning to stand and they think he will attract a significant % of the areas Muslim vote. Poor Labour. First, they sacrifice white working-class girls, and by default the white working-class vote, by way of trying to secure Muslim support and now Galloway, apparently, is going to swan in and steal those. LOL.
